Given what we know about climate change, I imagine you must feel the same way about the majority of the southern US, which indeed will itself become uninhabitable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] gowan@reddthat.com 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago* (1 child) I feel that, it will be interesting to see how the global climate refugee crisis will go when western countries like the US start having millions of migrants internally as well as externally. I think it’s going to be crazy, so much of the west is already bigoted against refugees overall, will they turn that inward and create a class of undesirables who live in shanty towns? Will the state step up and spend the billions of dollars it requires to properly create places for all these people? It’s gonna be a crazy few decades. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] gowan@reddthat.com 3 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
